Une Sainte horreur ou le voyage en Eucharistie

XVIe-XVIIIe siècle

This book begins with the meeting between the Eucharist and the New World. The conflict between Catholics and Huguenots, and the conflict over the real and substantial presence of Christ in the wine and bread of communion was transported to Brazil, from whence it returned with new tales of native cannibalism. The Reformation pushed even harder to disassociate the sacrament and the physical presence of Christ, and ultimately to end the idolatry of flesh. The Protestant and Catholic bodies were thus irremediably divorced, with two different ways of being and believing, the traces of which are brought out over three centuries in this innovative study.
